FAERIE FOLKLORE RESEARCH

I get asked a lot for information on faerie folklore, so here are some places to start. And, as with all research, if you look at the primary sources noted in the backs of those books, you will find more material.

I also really enjoyed Tokyo Vice: An American Reporter on the Police Beat in Japan for insight into criminals and criminal organizations.

VAMPIRE RESEARCH

While I mostly looked at vampire novels when I was writing The Coldest Girl in Coldtown, the two books I found most helpful in terms of vampire folklore/myth were Montague Summer’s Vampires and Vampirism (this is in print and also available as an ebook) and, although it is about how real bodies decompose, Paul Barber’s Vampires, Burial and Death was super helpful and interesting.
